Where do trolls go when they've been tombstoned?

[Jo March]

I ask this out of "respect" for the late and not great pigkiller.

Why are they allowed to keep coming back? Just curious.

[Misunderestimator]

1. They get new email addresses until they run out.

And they just keep rejoining, apparently.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

31. I already caught one today that was here yesterday

they're subtle as sledgehammers.

[Misunderestimator]

32. I think we both recognized him... pretty obvious.

:hi: unless there were others? Ugh.

[Frodo]

2. They come back with a typo.

He'll be pygkiller tomorrow.

Then he'll kill some other type of farm animal next week.

[Jo March]

6. Hahaha! He'll be easy to spot

He doesn't know the difference between your and you're.

Shouldn't he just get a life? I mean, I don't post on FR because I don't agree with them and they are a little nuts. Why come over here and cause trouble?

[Skittles]

3. I don't know but I am sick of them

if I want to hear their point of view all I have to do is turn on the TV, listen to the radio, read the newspaper, talk to my coworkers. I really, truly resent it when I find their misinformed views here in the DU.

[Jo March]

11. I have actually uncovered one and I was pretty pleased with myself

I usually try to take people at face value and really want to believe that people who come here are doing so because they are Democrats who want to discuss issues amoung like-minded people.

I am just too trusting.

[Fovea]

4. we trap their digital soul in a one way chat room

and they gabble and shriek at each other until either the end of the world, or dickless from the EPA powers down the server.

That explains the occasional surge in trolls.

[Jo March]

12. They seem to be out today

That could just be my imagination. I guess it's because of the whole AWOL thing.

[skypilot]

5. Where do trolls go?

Not to the library or to a bookstore. That much is obvious.

(I was going to say, "...or to a bookstore, apparently" but I've been overusing the word apparently today.)

[Jo March]

8. My word is nonetheless! ;)

I don't think that pigkiller had been to a library or a bookstore. I read some of his posts before he got tombstoned and his stuff was very lame. All of his replies were idiotic!

[skypilot]

15. Nonetheless...

...he was persistent.;)

[Jo March]

19. LOL! ;) n/t

[fairfaxvadem]

10. Having been "assaulted" by pigkiller, good riddance.

I admit, when I first read his post, I thought "Damn dude, lighten up", then of course, the lightbulb went off as I recalled seeing an equally snotty and idiotic comment on an earlier thread from pigkiller today. Forget which one now.

Sheesh...

[skypilot]

13. You all do realize...

...that the mods are going to pull this thread, don't you?:grouphug:

[Jo March]

17. Probably - but I'm glad that you guys explained why they can come back

I have always wondered how they could. I thought that maybe the IP addresses could be blocked.

Ah, one day I will be an old timer and know all of the secrets. ;)

[fairfaxvadem]

18. That's okay if they do pull it.

I vented.

[Jo March]

14. I was in that thread as well

I read his first response to your post and immediately went and looked him up. Sure enough, his stuff was familiar.

You came out well in that thread, though. :) We all had your back quickly! ;) I love DU for that.

[skypilot]

20. There was a misunderstanding between...

...fairfaxvadem and I. For a minute it looked as though I was teaming up with that troll, PK. God forbid.

[Jo March]

25. LOL - it got a bit confusing there for a moment

I had a hard time following the thread. I have that problem when things start flying back and forth.

[fairfaxvadem]

26. You know, he proved my point in a weird way.

He was just like that Jason caller I was complaining about. Faking his Dem creds.

Huh. Small world among the Freepers, ain't it??

[Jo March]

28. Yes, it is a small-minded world among the Freeps! ;) n/t

[skypilot]

29. It's not so much a small world...

...as it is a small mind. Which they all apparently share.

Dammit, there's that word again.

[fairfaxvadem]

21. You and Skypilot and everyone else were great!!

I really appreciated it!

[sidestreamer]

7. They get another e-mail and try again.

Same with me and some other infiltrators over in Freeperland...

[Jo March]

9. For shame!! ;)

I wouldn't go over there and post if you paid me.

[sidestreamer]

23. It's so fun watching them throw poop at me when I expose my DU identity

Lately though, the mods quit allowing for "zots" and simply yanked the threads when they realized that some like myself would stick around and engage in actual debate rather than make one-post hit-and-runs to be chewed up... I find that incredibly weak.

[Jo March]

24. Debate is one thing

A hit-and-run insult is quite another.

You are braver than I am. :)

[sidestreamer]

30. It isn't bravery as much as it is simply knowing how to place your answers

without giving away your DU affiliation or your liberal (or at least non-Freeper) ideology. If you know what you're talking about over there, all you'll put up with is people calling you a commie traitor KKKerryite anti-veteran anti-American Nazi liberal... in other words, half of them are nothing but howlers, and the other half you can rip apart before they gather themselves and flood you with excessive bantering.

[LynneSin]

16. I loved his "I'm not a freeper but I post just like one on DU" soliloquy

:crazy:

[Jo March]

22. I must have missed that one!

Seriously, what pleasure can be gained from stirring up trouble?

I really like this board but I would never cross over into enemy territory. I'd go to an open board that didn't cater to right or left but rather both. I've done that before.

[LynneSin]

27. I signed up for an account on Free Republic about 3 years ago

but their damn website is so poorly organized that I just couldn't be bothered with disrupting it.

[skypilot]

33. I can never tell who is responded to who over there.

It is a truly shitty site in need of a "Queer Eye" makeover. Or something.

[miss_kitty]

34. "what pleasure can be gained from stirring up trouble? "

i'm not sure...bragging rights back at the frat house?
i did admin on an open site that catered to the left, and i'd see a new member with a name like 'Pride and Honor' or 'Stop and Think' and just think "fucking shit. don't you morans have like-minded assholes you can hang with?" and i would play with them for a little while...i can refute most arguments by the likes of ppl like that, with sourcing, before their page refreshes. but after a while i would totally ignore them and everyone else would ignore them and they would go away.

i guess they just crave attention, and they don't care if it's bad.

[Cha]

35. Glad pigkiller is gone...he had me going

with his/her "shouldn't question politics when People are suffering from the Hurricanes", pigshit!
